This is not mechanical ascension.

He stood up and stretched his limbs, and King Zhentian walked into his body behind him.

His body was like a furnace, Li Ming breathed out a hot breath.

While undergoing trials, his body was not idle. With the blessing of the evolutionary system, it was always developing independently.

Two parallel lines, Li Ming often does this, after all, the body develops independently, and the consciousness is also idle when it is idle.

The Holy Castle Trial can also greatly enhance his actual combat ability. It is precisely because of the enhanced actual combat ability that he passed the High Lord Trial at 65% of the progress. It can be said that he is making progress every moment.

This trial lasted for sixteen hours, and was conducted six times in total. Each time, he was just a hair away from passing. He was really unwilling to do so, so he tried so many times in one go until he passed.

Opening the smart terminal, I wanted to browse the news, but the shadow of Suzaku appeared, "Master, Lord Ford came to see you two hours ago." Oh? "Li Ming packed up the smart terminal and went out to find Ford. He was nesting in the public rest area, chatting with Robin.

Seeing Li Ming arrive, he stood up immediately and said helplessly: "Asmara finally trusts me."

Since the departure of the Mechanical Royal Court, Ford has been trying to contact Asmara on the black hole network with Li Ming's assurance.

It is very simple to log in to the Black Hole Network account and send messages to the other party. The problem is how to make Asmara believe in herself. Ford has been working hard for this.

But Asmara is so wary that she doesn't even believe in video calls. After all, if you don't pay attention, you will be shattered into pieces.

In the end, Asmara was still doubtful when Ford mentioned Gabriel's matter.

But after so many days of intermittent contact and such secrets leaked, Asmara finally believed him and revealed some information.

"Because of Prince Ryan's influence, a considerable number of civilizations in the Corona Borealis Ring are already providing us with assistance. Through this, the Vampires have spread over a hundred life planets." Ford said solemnly.

"So fast?" Robin next to him was shocked. During this time, he also learned about this from Ford.

"A hundred?" Li Ming frowned slightly. Ford glanced at him, and then whispered: "Also, Professor Wu has been investigating this matter."

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, his expression gloomy: "Old Wu?"

Ford hurriedly explained, "There are really only a few people Asmara can trust. Apart from me and my father, the only one is Professor Wu."

"Professor Wu requested this, and he is just among those who are transporting blood. There is no danger."

"Because Blue Star is the first batch of life planets to be released, no one knows where the blood species is. He can only collect the opponent's tendency data in this way and try to locate it."

He was afraid that Li Ming would think that Asmara was using Professor Wu to force him into the game.

Li Ming nodded and his expression softened. He somewhat understood Lao Wu's character. If it wasn't voluntary, almost no one could force him to do anything.

Whether it is for Blue Star or for other reasons is unknown.

Ford further said: "Professor Wu has collected a lot of data. Based on the behavioral habits of those people and the characteristics of the blood species, the possible locations have been framed into ten locations."

"Asmara asked us what our next move is? Do we need his cooperation?"

Li Ming pondered, there was still no news from Blackbeard, the Pioneer was not sure whether this matter was true or not, and the details of what would happen next were still uncertain.

"No need for now, let's go back to Blue Star first and see what that blood species is." Li Ming thought briefly and then decided on the next step. "Also, send me a copy of the data collected by Old Wu."

"Okay." Ford nodded and quickly rummaged through the information.

Back in the room, Li Ming opened the Star Network to browse information every day, and read a few gossip news with relish. Those who can make the headlines of Star Network are all influential people.

For example, today’s headline is “Federal Speaker embroiled in sex scandal with minors.”

Many other big figures are also involved. The leadership of the Federation changes quickly, and there are often political scandals.

Instead, he logged into the Black Hole Network.

"oh?"

There was new news on Li Ming's account, and his eyes moved slightly.

"Do you want a top-notch S-class star beast?" The other party spoke concisely and got straight to the point.

Li Ming did not reply immediately, but clicked on the other party's page. The other party was not anonymous.

The introduction claims that he is an intelligence agent, active in the sea of ​​stars, and an A-level life form.

"It's just an A-level life form?" Li Ming was a little disappointed. The star beasts he found from the several A-level life forms that contacted him before were not very good. With the thought of just in case, he still responded to the message, " What kind of star beast?"

I thought it would take some time for the other party to reply, but unexpectedly, within two or three minutes, I got the message.

"The Golden Saint Scale Lion is comparable to an S-class life form that is 90% in development progress." The other party sent a photo.

The giant beast above has a strong body, smooth muscle lines, thick limbs, and claws as sharp as hooks. Its entire body is covered with dazzling golden scales and burning golden flames.

The forehead is broad, inlaid with a pair of eyes burning with red flames, sharp and majestic, and fangs protrude from the mouth.

Li Ming zoomed in on the details, took a closer look, and frowned slightly, "There are no gold lines on the forehead, no double rings in the pupils, and the scales on the tail are not overlapping. This is not a lion king. Only a lion king can reach the level you mentioned. An ordinary holy scale lion. Weakened by more than one margin.”

The other party was silent, as if he didn't expect it to be so difficult to fool, but after a moment he sent another message:

"The Lion King is a variant of the Holy Scaled Lion, one of a kind. An ordinary Holy Scaled Lion is enough to prepare S-level gene seeds. Your request is only for the "Star-Swallowing Nether Dragon" raised by the Empire and the Federation." "Galan Blazing Flame" can only be achieved by star beasts raised by several powerful star clusters."

"A star beast of that level will be snapped up once it appears. The Holy Scaled Lion is already very rare."

Due to the needs of the genetic evolution path and the civilizations of all parties, forces are driven by the need to monopolize advanced life forms.

The top star beasts of all evolutionary levels have almost been captured long ago. The other party is right, the holy scale lion is already very rare.

"This is just an order. No one can imagine the location. How about a deal in person? Give me the A-level weapon and give you the coordinates." The other party further said. Li Ming thought for a moment, thinking that his development progress was less than 70%, so he still refused. "No."

"Hey, which force are you from? Why are you so striving for excellence? X-level life forms are elusive, so long as they can evolve." The other party was helpless. Li Ming used an anonymous bounty, and all information was kept confidential.

Moreover, he is the highest bidder of the same type. As long as he has the coordinates, he will be given an A-level weapon after confirmation.

If you sell it to other civilizations and forces, you have to take them there, and even wait for the capture to be successful before giving you any benefits.

Li Ming said a few perfunctory words, but the other party saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't say much.

Since the transaction was not done in a righteous way, the two of them still added anonymous friends, which might be useful in the future.

"In a while, there should be more advanced ones." Li Ming pondered, the longer he waited, the more clues he would get.

Seven days later, the capital of Blue Star Civilization - Jingnan.

Over a certain mountain forest, the surrounding space was faintly distorted. The light seemed to be disturbed by invisible objects. The trees below were shaking violently, and their branches and leaves were rustling.

In mid-air, it was as if the curtain was suddenly torn open, and three figures suddenly appeared, and then jumped down.

Bang!

The powerful force hit the ground, raising dust and fallen leaves all over the sky.

Li Ming and Robin looked back and stopped when their bodies were still ten centimeters from the ground.

But Ford looked embarrassed and stood up from the small hole in the ground, "Sorry, I couldn't control it."

Li Ming didn't pay attention, but Ford sighed as if changing the subject, "Your spaceship is very powerful. Although the aerospace shield here is a low-end model, it is also a planet-level outer space defense shield." ”

Li Ming looked up and remembered that when he first came into contact with the Torch Organization, he was very surprised when the other party used dimensional life forms to tear apart the extraterrestrial shield.

"This aerial shield uses a cellular energy cluster, which is at least five generations behind normal extraterrestrial shields. It operates continuously around the clock and requires extremely high energy consumption." Li Ming explained lightly:

"But the single-point defense level is extremely weak and the particle gaps are huge, which can be easily penetrated with a particle disruptor."

"Of course, the only advantage is that we can continuously sell specialized energy modules with extremely high premiums to buyers."

Ford's face became more and more embarrassed, and he said helplessly: "These were sold to Blue Star fifty years ago. I was not born yet at that time. I originally wanted to replace them with them, but I ran out of time once the war started."

Robin looked around and couldn't help but say: "This is your home planet. It looks okay."

"This is not my home planet, but I studied here for a while." Li Ming shook his head.

"Oh" Robin thought thoughtfully and said with emotion: "Unfortunately, this place is too close to the empire's territory, so your influence cannot radiate over and support it."

Li Ming ignored him, stretched out his hand, and the [Folding Barracks] emerged, suspended in his palm. As soon as the light swept away, a large number of mechanical bodies appeared in the forest, densely packed.

Robin and Ford were startled at the same time.

Li Ming simply gave an order to divide these machines into ten teams, but he only released a thousand.

If there are too many, this place can't accommodate them. One hundred people are divided into ten teams, and the queues are neat.

Soon, the mimetic skin on the surface of these silver-white mechanical bodies came into play, gradually turning into human appearances, both men and women, with dull expressions.

Then Li Ming, Li Ming took out a small Suzaku. This was not a shadow, but a real thing. It flapped its mechanical wings and landed on Li Ming's shoulder.

This is [Suzaku Split], which carries Suzaku's split intelligence and control. It can build a regional command network and connect all mechanical bodies.

Send instructions over long distances.

After the network was built, with Suzaku as the central commander, these mechanical bodies suddenly came to life, with various expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy constantly appearing on their faces, which was chilling.

"You two each pick a team and search the coordinates that Old Wu guessed to see if you can find the so-called blood species."

Li Ming said.

Raising his hand again, the cabin under the hidden sword shadow in the sky opened, and ten small aircraft fell down, spraying flames.

"no problem."

"good."

The two of them agreed, and they both knew what was going on and didn't ask Li Ming what he was doing. They picked a group of people and left quickly.

The other eight teams also broke into pieces under the control of Suzaku, boarded the aircraft, and disappeared into the mountain forest.

Lao Wu's experimental island seems to have been expanded many times. The area of ​​the island has expanded a lot, there are many more tall buildings, and it seems that there are more things involved.

In the conference room on the top floor, Luo Chuan looked indifferent, and several young people stood in front of him, looking at each other.

"Zhang Yuan, the market purchase price of Lantian Machinery Factory is 30 million star coins, and you can actually lower the price to 15 million. You are really powerful!" Luo Chuanpi smiled.

"And Zhou Tao, after you took over, the pass rate of Boixue No. 3 potion has been stable at 99.5% for three consecutive months. You have learned well in pharmacy."

"And you guys, in the past six months since I joined the company, we have expanded the size of the laboratory more than ten times. It's really amazing."

Luo Chuan's power became stronger and stronger. Although it was a compliment, it made the people in front of him look horrified.

"Director Luo, we don't quite understand what you're saying -" someone had the courage to ask.

"Don't quite understand?" Luo Chuan sneered, "Lantian Machinery Factory's performance is stable, and the normal purchase price should not be less than 40 million."

"Thirty million is already very sincere, but the chairman's son and daughter disappeared inexplicably for half a month, so he took the initiative to lower the price to fifteen million."

"The blood-boiling medicine has a significant effect on enhancing biological functions, but the stability has always been lower than 98%. The side effects are high-risk. I stipulate that it should not be lower than 99.9%-."

Luo Chuan's indifferent expression suddenly turned ferocious, "Do you think this is strengthening the laboratory? This is a slap in my face!"

Several people trembled in fright, lowered their heads and looked at each other, and someone bravely said, "This - in the process of development and growth, some extraordinary means will inevitably be used, but the result - is always good."

"Damn it!" Luo Chuan yelled, "Don't think that I don't know what you and the family behind you are planning to expand wildly by relying on the relationship between the laboratory and Li Ming."

"You have swallowed up more than half of Blue Star's high-quality enterprises. If I don't care anymore, you may reach out to other civilizations."

Several people had ugly faces. They were all the children of Blue Star senior officials. How could they have ever been scolded like this?

Zhang Yuan immediately snorted, "Director Luo, since you know why you still accepted us at that time, you just wanted to use our hands to do dirty work. Now that the results have come out, why do you have to be so sanctimonious?"

"Besides, this place is too close to the empire, and Li Ming can't do anything to help us. So what if we borrow a name? Who dares to say anything?

The worst thing you can do is get more. "

The expressions of the others changed slightly and their eyes indicated.

But surprisingly, Luo Chuan was not angry. Instead, he suppressed his anger and smiled slightly, "Yes, I recruited you on purpose."
